ngx_cache_purge is nginx module which adds ability to purge content from
FastCGI, proxy, SCGI and uWSGI caches. A purge operation removes the
content with the same cache key as the purge request has.
Work on the original patch was fully funded by yo.se.
This module is production-ready.

Sometimes it's not possible to pass the exact key cache to purge a page. For example; when the content of a cookie or the params are part of the key. You can specify a partial key adding an asterisk at the end of the URL.
curl -X PURGE /page*
The asterisk must be the last character of the key, so you must put the $uri variable at the end.

gzip_varycan lead to different results when clearing, when enabling it, you may have problems clearing the cache. For reliable operation, you can disablegzip_varyinside the location #20.
ngx_cache_purge comes with complete test suite based on Test::Nginx.
